## Prediction

In the next 24 hours, civilians across occupied Crimea—especially Kerch, Feodosia, and Simferopol—will experience worsening electricity outages, fuel supply disruptions, and localized evacuations near burning depots and power plants. These conditions will strain hospitals, water systems, and basic services, forcing occupation authorities to prioritize military energy demands over civilian needs. The humanitarian fallout will deepen local resentment and information warfare on both sides, complicating any future reintegration or negotiation scenarios. Confirmation would be extended blackout reports, fuel rationing, and emergency service advisories; rapid full restoration of power grid stability would challenge this forecast.

## Drivers

- Reports that half of Crimea is without power after strikes
- Large fires at TES-Terminal and Kamysh-Burunskaya CHPP
- Continued Ukrainian drone barrage against energy nodes
